Dr. Z of CNNSI: Dolphins have best draft

[Nublar7]

My Numero Uno

Miami Dolphins: I like this because the character of the drafter was reflected in the picks. It was a Man's draft, make that He-Man. Big guys. Serious. Top guy on the board, Jake Long, stands 6-7 and weighs 315. The defensive end, Phillip Merling, is not what you'd call a nimble-footed pass rusher. He likes to stack 'em up at the point. A two-gapper. Oh yes, he's 6-4½, 275. The QB, drafted with Miami's second pick in the second round, Chad Henne, is 226. He's got a gun. I mean for an arm. I assume he'll challenge for the job, or something more sinister. The average of the nine chaps selected is 6-3, 274. My kind of draft, boy.

Championship teams begin at the Trenches, it all about the Big Nasties.

No matter how this all plays out in the end, it sure is nice to have the so-called experts FINALLY giving our draft a good score. It has been far too long...

Did he mention we drafted only players with mass amounts of Hair on their chest. Jeff Ireland made them take their shirts off....Back hair was a plus as well! All of our players use Old Spice...that was another pre-requisite!

We've been a ***** team ever since our championship days in the 70's when we had dominating O and D lines.

That's no coincidence.. Parcells knows what he'd doing.

During the interview process, the bonus question was: "The last time you went boar hunting, how many did you kill, and did you feel that not using a weapon gave you an advantage?"

We'll eat some raw meat and kick some A**....and we're now out of raw meat.

I'm gonna enjoy watching the Fins punch the Pats right in the mouth. On both sides of the ball!

I think they also brought in all prospects to have a Dong-off!

The defensive end, Phillip Merling, is not what you'd call a nimble-footed pass rusher.

I am not so sure about that, but if he plays 3-4 DE then I guess it won't matter
